How do I OTA weekly updates if I'm rooted? Last time I tried that my magisk was removed and I couldnt flashed it afterwards / my device bootlooped.

I received OTA update from HTC (1.54.708.5, ~170Mb) and of course it won't install by itself with TWRP installed.
I just wounder if it is possible to flash it manually from TWRP?
The update should have already downloaded somewhere in my phone, where can I find this 170mb update out and flash it manually from TWRP? Thank you very much.
I got tired of waiting for someone to release the update so I just reinstalled the stock recovery, received the OTA, the reinstalled TWRP. This update didn't kill root so that was all it took to get it.
I have my M8 running the GPE ROM which I have rooted. On previous Android versions, I was able to apply the OTA albeit manually in the custom recovery.
The last few OTA's I have attempted on my M8 have been a complete failure and I have ended up having to wipe and apply a factory image. Recently therefore i have been ignoring the updates (L-MR1 has been bugging me to install for weeks!)
Is there a method of applying these updates with the phone rooted?
Thanks
An ota will install with root applied BUT you have to make sure the system partition is untouched. This means that ALL the "stock" apps need to be there and nothing can be removed. xposed is also a known bugger to refuse official ota updates. And a must have is the HTC stock recovery. An ota never installs through a custom recovery !
Oops, I mean OTA.
Anyone have a zip file to use with FlashFire to get the latest firmware installed. Currently on the next to last update, but think that is causing me issues getting 7.1 roms installed successfully. Am on stock, of rooted of course, with S-Off, and TWRP. Trying to just update firmware without losing anything.
Trying doing 'check for updates' but it just hangs at 'checking'
I posted a while back in February about how I was unable to install the December Security OTA Update on my XT1710-01 RETUS, but I didn't get any responses. I believe that I have learned that this is due to the fact that I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted with Magisk (however I have not flashed TWRP or a custom recovery, if that makes a difference).
It looks like some other users had this issue too, and that some of you were able to get by with flashing a different Stock ROM in to get back to Stock and then flashing the OTA update.
Is that what I need to do in order to be able to flash my OTA updates in the future? Is there any other method aside from flashing the ROMs to get the updates too install on my phone?
My XL is rooted with magisk and ElementalX kernel.
Last updated with June patch.
Do I have to sideload OTA . To get the latest update.
Or can I just go to settings, advanced....
Sideloading is so easy I would do it that way. Make a backup, sideload the full OTA image, and you are ready to go. Then reinstall the kernel and majisk
